The N-gon tool lets you quickly draw any regular polygon.  You can even work on problems where the number of sides is n, or whatever variable you choose.

Here are the steps:

  1. Click the N-gon button icon_ngon  in the Draw toolbox.
  2. Similar to drawing a circle, position the cursor to place the center of the n-gon and click to the desired size.  The n-gon at first appears to be a pentagon.
  3. In the data entry box, enter the number of sides you want or a variable to represent the number of sides and press Enter.
